SummaryToday's video from Windows Learning Zone is all about exploring the various Windows accessories that come with your operating system. I am your instructor, Richard Rost, and I'll be guiding you through the key built-in tools like Calculator, WordPad, Notepad, and Paint.Our objectives in this class involve more than just introducing these accessories. I'll show you how to compose a basic business letter, create a simple graphic using Paint, and then insert that graphic into your WordPad business letter. In addition, we will look at some of the other lesser-known accessories that you can find in the Accessories folder on your Start menu. If you are new to Windows, I suggest completing Windows 101 or an Introduction to PCs first. For those running Windows 98 or Windows XP, Windows 102 or Windows 110 will give you the best foundation. It's also helpful if you've already taken Windows 120, which covers file management. I'll be demonstrating everything in Windows XP for this course, but don't worry if you have a different version of Windows. The accessories featured in this lesson are included in almost every version from Windows 98 right up through XP, so you should be able to follow along no matter which one you are using. To get the most out of this class, I recommend watching each lesson in its entirety once before attempting the exercises yourself. Then, on your second viewing, work through the examples step by step.
